+ /* On native Win32 systems (such as mingw), we can avoid using
+ %n because:
+ - Although the gl_SNPRINTF_TRUNCATION_C99 test fails,
+ snprintf does not write more than the specified number
+ of bytes. (snprintf (buf, 3, "%d %d", 4567, 89) writes
+ '4', '5', '6' into buf, not '4', '5', '\0'.)
+ - Although the gl_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 test fails, snprintf
+ allows us to recognize the case of an insufficient
+ buffer size: it returns -1 in this case.
+ On native Win32 systems (such as mingw) where the OS is
+ Windows Vista, the use of %n in format strings by default
+ crashes the program. See
+ <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-06/msg00122.html> and
+ <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175782(VS.80).aspx>
+ So we should avoid %n in this situation. */
